Have you tested this? I think there are a few things on the server
side that need work to make triple (or more) buffering work. Here's
the patch I last used to work on it...
To make things fast, you'll need some extra buffers allocated in the
DRI2 drawable, and you'll need to switch between them at swapbuffers
time, along with upping the swap_limit.
